Ride guide · REYKJAVIK
The good reykjavik atv & quad tours run a finite fleet and the best machines go first. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride an ATV from Reykjavik toward Lake Hafravatn, Reykjavik Peak, and Lava Fields Mountain. Choose a solo or shared quad, wear supplied thermal gear, and follow guides such as Daria, Gonzalo, Veronica, or Sir Kaktus across rocky, icy tracks.
“Exciting , amazing experience especially the mountain views, Our tour guide, Veronica is so awesome and very kind . We love her❤️”
Join Safari Quads for a 2.5-hour outing from Reykjavik to Hafravatn, including transfers, gear, a 30-minute briefing, and one hour driving a two-seat 4x4 buggy. Guides such as Lisa, Paula, Mariana, and Sir Cactus help nervous drivers get comfortable on mixed terrain.
“Our guide, SirCactus, was very funny. He was on time to pick us up at our campsite and drove us to the base. He got us outfitted, clearly explained how to buggies worked, and led us on a fun tour. He stopped at critical turns to make sure nobody got lost. We had a great ride!”
Leave Reykjavik for a one-hour guided 4WD buggy ride across lava fields, muddy trails, snow, and mountain tracks. Your guide handles the route while you enjoy a lake stop and wide views. Thermal gear, helmets, gloves, and hotel pickup are included. Drivers need a valid license.
“Amazing! Our hosts Gonzalo & Louis (hope I spelt the names correctly!) were fantastic and made our buggy experience a memorable one. We knew we’d enjoy this trip but with their kindness, help and humour we had a wonderful morning with them.”
Join Safari Quads for a 3.5-hour Icelandic off-road ride from Reykjavik. You will drive a two-seat buggy across lava fields, mud, snow, and shallow water, then climb Úlfarsfell for views of Reykjavik, the North Atlantic, and Esja Mountain. Guides such as Gonzalo, Louis, and Lisa are often praised for safety and good humor.
“Me and my girlfriend did three tours with SafariQuads and really couldn’t recommend them enough! Staff were so friendly and welcoming from the pick up to the drop off. The tours and routes were amazing and the views were breathtaking. Special mentions to Paula, Maria and Louis for their incredible jobs and for making us feel so comfortable. Staff really do go above and beyond for everyone. Will definitely be returning in summer for the midnight sun tours! Thank you! Demi & Alex”
Drive a fully automatic 4x4 buggy from Reykjavik through moss-covered lava fields, over gravel roads and small streams, with a viewpoint stop. Choose a shared vehicle or drive alone. Pickup is available from select hotels, and helmets, snowsuits, gloves, and buffs are included.
“So much fun! Great experience for all ages! My kids ages 8-18 all had a great time! Highly recommend the experience!”
